questions to Alcohol, Answered

Come, Alcohol, now answer me
The questions I shall put to thee.
What is thy age, what is thy aim,
What is thy trade, what Is thy namef
My age 1t is a thousand years;
My aim, to fill the earth with tears;
My trade, to kill and mako expense;
My name it Is incompetence.
Long have ruled upon the earth,
To many a crime I've given birth;
I'm father of lcuch grief and woe,
i spread distress where'er go.
My dwelling place is at the bar,
My customers are near and far;
I turn their heads, l drain their purse,
And turn their blessings to a curse.
i daily breathe poisonous breath,
My drink is liquid fire and death,
My lodging place is Satan's seat,
My food is filth and serpent's meat.
Ny face 1 cover with a masque,
My hiding place Is in the cask,
My business mi st to gender strife
And part asunder man and wife.
Il visit grog-shops all around
Where Satan Is, there 1 am found.
His waiter am day and night,
His service is my chief delight;
He Is my captain and my guide,
4 always stand close by his side.
I've killed more men, upon my word,
Than Famine, Pestilence and Sword.
IT'S Temperance men 1 most do dread
For they are running my trade,
And If their cause does onward 60,
Twill prove my final overthrow.
Thus Alcohol disclosed to me
His character and his destiny.
; Although liar from his youth
He once has blundered into truth.
Then Temperance mon be wide awake
Your foe begins to fear and quake,
stand to your post! go hand in hand
And drive this monster from our land.

How to be Happy.

What does happy mean? A lit
tke girl said it is 'to feel as if you
wanted to give all your things to
your little sister,"
You smile, but hardly see why
you should. This little girl felt
Ghat to be happy she must be un-
selfish, She was right, and you
know it. Did you ever feel happy
when you had selfish feelings in
your breast? I guess not.-Ex.

A GOOD CHANCE.
Hundreds of Thousands of Acres
Opened up to Settlement.

SAN Francisco, August 27.-Land
Commissioner w. II. Mills, of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company,
has received notice from the Com
missioner of the General Land Office
at Washington, of the order made un-
der the direction of Secretary Lamar
opening to settlement the indemnity
lands of the California and Oregon
Railroad.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN.
Copies of the letter were mailed to
the Registers and Receivers of the
Land Office in this city, Sacramento,
Marysville and Shasta, directing them
to restore to the public domain and
open to settlement under the general
land laws, all lands heretofore with
drawn by indemnity purposes in their
districts under the grant of July, 1886.
to the California and Oregon Road,
except such as may be covered in
selection.
LOCALITY OF THE LAND.
This order will then open to settlers
the odd sections of land withing thir-
ty miles OF the railroad for the whole
distance north from Redding to the
State line. The amount of land made
available for the homesteader and
is variously estimated at
from 400 900 to 600 900 acres.

EXCITED ENGINEERS.
Not Much Hope of Settling the
Mexican Central Strike.

Ell PAso, August &c. G. Sutter,
Chief of Division 224, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, is here to-day.
He said: "The strike on the Mexican
Central began in the discharge of En-
gineer Harry Burton. He was unable
to make card time without running
faster at certain places, and twice ap-
piled for permission to do so, when he
was summarily discharged. The
boys demanded his reinstatement, and
as it was refused the engineers of Di-
visions Nos. l, 2, 3 and 4 refused to
continue work. There are eighty-fve
men out, and there is small chance, l
think, of settling the difficulty"

PREMIUM PRICES.
Great Dearth of Fruit i'm the San
Francisco Market.

SAN Francisco, August 27. = AS
soon as the news OF the failure of the
fruit crops East reached here the price
of fruit Immediately assumed an up
ward tendency, and the arrivals of
fruit Immediately decreased until there
is at present very meagre supply.
The price of fruit has increased to five
times its value a week ago. Peaches
were sold in large quantities ten days
ago at 10 and Is cents a basket, and as
high as 81 per basket was received to-
day for the same quality of fruit.
NOT ENOUGH FOR THE GAMERS.
The Gamers who received a large
percentage of this fruit were offering
top prices to-day and were unable to
obtain suilieiency. Pears and other
fruits have advanced to double their
value last week,
LOTS MORE EXPECTED.
A large amount of fruit that came
here was received from the Sacra-
mento river and it is expected that
the crop from Sonoma and other
counties will soon come in and the de-
mand be satisfied.

SAN Francisco, August 27.-The
comedy of errors was enacted at the
Haight Street Park by the Pioneer
and Alta clubs to-day. The errors
and hits were many, and the score
large, 1t was not an interesting game,
for the reason that the visitors from
the capital were knocked out in the
third inning, and after that they made
very weak attempt to display their
skill. McMullen pitched for the AL
tars, and his work was in strong con-
trast to that of Lorigan, who, although
little wild, was gauged for only two
hits. The score was 20 to in favor
of the Pioneers.

Prince Ferdinand I'm an UnPleas-
ant Situation.


nand has received 1telegrams from both
the Sultan and Gar. The Sultan's
message is moderate in tone, but
states that the Princes assumption Of
Bulgarian throne was Illegal, and con-
stitutes a breach of the Berlin treaty.

ly imperative. 1t declares that Russia
disapproves of Prince Ferdinand's act
and deems it gross violation OF the
treaty. /
BIsMARCK's POLICY UNKNOWN.
BERLIN, August 27.-A prospect of
the settlement of the Bulgarian i'm
broglio is more hazy than ever. Moth
| ing definite is known as to Bismarck's s
policy.
THE BERLIN TREATY AGAIN.
1t is believed that there is to be a
better entente, but no special reap
proachment with Russia as result of

the Gar in the present policy of Sc
curing respect for the treaty of Berlin
This has been Bismarck's persistent
aim but not Russia's.

cooperation within the limits of the
Berlin treaty.
